I build the quiet infrastructure underneath intelligent products: data platforms that stay fast, observable and trustworthy as they scale for AI and ML.

A little context

I care about the layer most people never see.

Right now I'm building an AI-first data platform for engineering and product at Adobe Express: ML inferencing APIs that personalize what people see, and semantic search that lets data scientists and PMs query data dictionaries in plain English instead of memorizing table names.

Most of it lives in the layer underneath: SDKs and client libraries that keep data collection consistent, and validation tooling that scans a million-plus TypeScript files to block bad analytics before they merge.

You'll still find me ramble about IaC, monoliths, and the occasional CI/CD rabbit hole, always chasing “speed-of-light” engineering: fast iteration, high ownership, and pragmatic calls under real production constraints.

Writing

Notes on intelligence, infrastructure & the space between.

Essays I write to figure out what I actually think. More on the way.

The Philosophy of the "Permeable Mind"

On treating LLMs not as isolated chatbots but as a cognitive layer over our data: MCP, RAG, and designing the silent weaver.

What's in rotation.

A living log of what's filling my head and my headphones.
